2) The property is available as a whole or in lots. The property is Lot 2 (blue on plan). Lot 1 (red on plan) consists of the farmhouse, cottage, one large barn and 1.69 acres. Lot 3 (green on plan) consists of the former grain store and 0.51 acre. Please note the Lot 3 is not available on its own and will only be sold as part of the whole or in conjunction with either Lot 1 or Lot 2.
